Who doesn't love a classic shrimp cocktail? This version takes it up a notch with the addition of a savory tomato aspic. The aspic is made with a combination of tomato juice, consommé, and gelatin, and it's the perfect way to add a pop of color and flavor to your shrimp. The shrimp are poached in a flavorful court-bouillon, then chilled and arranged in a mold with the aspic. Once the aspic has set, the shrimp are ready to be served with a variety of dipping sauces.
This recipe also includes instructions for making a creamy avocado dressing, a tangy cocktail sauce, and a spicy remoulade sauce. These sauces are the perfect complement to the shrimp and aspic, and they add a delicious extra layer of flavor. Whether you're serving this dish as an appetizer or a main course, it's sure to be a hit with your guests.
